The Philosophy
"Crane of Chitose" (Chitose is a name for the Sapporo area). Hokkaido has a cool climate with little humidity, so fermentation is restrained and it is easy to produce sake with a refreshing, dry flavor. Chitosetsuru is made from water created by the vast natural world of Hokkaido, which lends the finished product a uniquely deep flavor.

Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
A true masterpiece of toji brewer, this refined Junmai Daiginjo is made with only highly polished rice from the vast lands of Northern Hokkaido and koji mold. Harmonious aroma of daiginjo with complex and rich taste of pure rice sake.
Matches well with sashimi, grilled fish, as well as (mildly seasoned) tempura, yakitori and tonkatsu.
